I-864
Hi guys,
So if an intending immigrant (spouse) adds their income in addition to the petitioner‘s income in form i-864, does the intending immigrant has to fill i-864A? On USCIS filling instructions manual for i864, it says that if intending immigrant adds their income they do not have to fill i864A form. I want to confirm this because with USCIS you never know. Has anybody done something like this and got approved?

I used my spouse - the intending immigrant’s income - to supplement mine and we didn’t fill out I-864A. You fill that out if you have dependents. FYI, we haven’t been approved yet but did consult a lawyer.

Thank you @A B. And did you send last three years for tax returns of intending immigrant or just the most recent?
A BApr 6, 2022
3 years for the intending immigrant :)
Gentlemen NApr 6, 2022
Ok, so should we send the whole tax return or just the tax transcript? Did you send just tax transcript?
Gentlemen NApr 6, 2022
or both? kinda confused

Tax transcripts are fine (we sent transcripts), but make sure you include W-2’s as well.

We don't have dependents so I didn't fill it out initially but after 4 months got an RFE for it, so I recommend filling it out anyway to be honest

I-864a form is gonna contract between joint sponsor and household member? I’m asking cuz my brother-in-law (my sister’s husband) is my spouse’s joint sponsor so is it necessary we fill out the I-864a?
Gentlemen NApr 17, 2022
@s k. i864a is for houshold
member i.e. having same resident address. Or else they need to fill out i-864 as a joint sponsor.

@Gentlemen N
thanks for your reply. you mean my brother in law and my sister need to fill out I-864a. am I right?
Nabeel BeidasApr 17, 2022
your spouse will fill I-864 and your brother-in-law will fill I-864 too unless he is living in the same address of your spouse then he will fill I-864a.

@Nabeel Beidas
i as a petitioner filled out I-864
my brother in law as a joint sponsor also filled out I-864
my sister and my brother in law filled out I-864a
Nabeel BeidasApr 18, 2022
Why did your brother-in-law filled I-864 and I-864a? He supposed to fill I-864 only as a joint sponser and your sister is the one to fill I-864a.

@Nabeel Beidas
I asked many people they said this is the contract between household member who is my sister and joint sponsor who is her husband

check uscis websit that I mention: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/tips-for-filing-form-i-864a-contract-between-sponsor-and-household-member
it says: If there is a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor may sign this form along with a household member.
